According to the stone inscription on this fountain, “it started to flow on 5 April 1845”. It was built to ease the water shortage in Gràcia.

  • Cultural heritage

This is one of the oldest fountains in the neighbourhood and it follows the traditional structure of fountains found in Barcelona since the Middle Ages: slightly set back in the wall with a stone basin the water pours into.
The Noucentista ceramic panels by Salvador Sunet i Urgellès are in the traditional Catalan style: blue, green and orange on a white background. Water pours from the mouths of ornamental heads into the equally ornamental cups that go with the vases on the balustrade above.
